In the circuit shown each capacitor has a capcitance `C`. The emf of the celll is `E`. If the switch `S` is closed then

A

Positive charge wil flow out of the positive terminal of the cell

B

Positive charge will enter the positive terminal of the cell

C

the amount of the charge flowing through the cell will be `1/3` CE

D

the amount of charge flowing through the cell is `(4/3)CE`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, D

`C_i=((C)(2C))/(C+2C)=2/3C`
`q_i=C_iE=2/3EC`
`C_f=2C`
`:. q_f=2EC`
`q_f=2EC`
`/_\q=q_f-q_i`
`=4/3CE`
